The Official Breed Registry for the Old White English©
The OWEPS is the First and Only Official Breed Registry for the WE and Brindle Bulldog as well as the first White English Bulldog and Old White English Registry officially recognized and acknowledged by other breed registries, clubs, organizations and internet dog resource sites!
"Was our dog a clown, a hobby, a fad, a fashion, a feather in our caps - that we should subject him to dog shows, that we should harry his faithful soul with such tomfoolery? We should have been ashamed to let him smell about us the tar-brush of a sense of property, to let him think we looked on him as an asset to earn us pelf or glory. No! If a man does not soon pass beyond the thought: "By what shall this dog profit me?" into the large state of simple gladness to be with dog, he shall never know the very essence of the companionship which depends not on the points of dog, but on some strange and subtle mingling of mute spirits."
John Galsworthy
"When a type of dog looses its historic role, then the future of that breed is threatened. The breed history gave us the breed; the breed history must be our guide in perpetuating the breed." " Hancock
Any sign of fear, nervouness, unprovoked aggression, or lack of submission to being handled is not only a disqualification, but also revokes breed quality registration. Aloofness is understandable and even desired.

- Dogs/Pups are only applicable if the both the sire and dam are OWEPS registered.
The OWEPS is and will remain the parent registry of the White English breed; a breed that has existed for as long as anyone can remember, yet has only recently been acknowledged outside of farmers, ranchers, homesteaders, and cattlemen.
The preservation of the breed requires strict control of the remaining stock, of which few can recognize as true to type due to the popularity of several modern American bull breeds that descend from the OWE.
